Spring Break Epicness pt.1

Bulletstorm Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  The game that revolutionized the online score-board and punched online multiplayer in the face, Bulletstorm, is a prommising game. There are several gameplay types in this game, but they can be classified into two categories; Single-player and multi-player. All though very foul mouthed and crazy,(and trust me, IT IS), you'll be surprised to hear this, it actually has a story driven campaign! The story is rich with twists and action. You'll be on the edge of your seat with the frantic gameplay, and satisfied with yourself as every encounter is ended with an uplifting slew of swears and compliments. The enemies are fun to kill, stupid, point-sacks, but that's just it, they're stupid. Sometimes they just stand around and let you extract the skillpoints from them and drink the sweet, sweet neon point juice. As the predicessor to annother series, Gears of War, it is like that in one way more than any other;gore. Most of the skillshots in this game are gory and having something to do with dismemberment. Now onto the multi-player. For me, the multi-player isn't all that great. It's about co-op, but the gameplay is so frantic that you barely perform any skillshots with eachother. Now, even though I've mentioned them throughout the review, lets talk about skillshots. Skillshots aren't just some points on an online learderboard, theyr'e essential to your survival. Skillpoints are what you need to buy ammo and weapons from dropshops, or pod-like things that let you exchange skillpoints for metal throwing things that are also metal and have cool names................................The only problem with that system, is that when the dropshops have new things you don't get a heads-up. For instance, there is this hard skillshot called "French Revolution" which requires you to decapitate at least 3 enemies with a charged flail. There is a level that is perfect for it, but either you can't buy it, or it's not there.

So, for me, Bulletstorm is a single-player game. It gets a 4/5. I'll make more reviews this week.
